| | Power Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | All subsequent Macintosh computers would be based on PowerPC processors until 2006, when Apple would begin a transition to Intel processors. |  | | The ROM and Mac OS operating system released with the new Power Mac machines included an emulator to enable programs written for Motorola 68k series CPUs, including nearly all prior Mac software, to run without changes. |  | | In June 2005, Apple announced that they would begin a transition to using Intel processors instead of the PowerPC line; it is not known how these machines would be named, whether retaining the "Power Mac" moniker with a suffix other than "G5", or switching to something different. |

| | Designing Applications for the Power Macintosh |
 | | But the Power Macintosh can offer a much richer experience than was possible with previous computers if developers break free of their old assumptions and harness the power of the machine to make software not just faster, but easier and more enjoyable to use. |  | | Once Power Macintosh computers are fast enough that an entire, complex inequality graph can be drawn in a single 15- tick time slice, users will be able to explore inequalities as fluidly as they can now play with simple functions. |  | | The Power Macintosh offers us the chance to reach more people while making the experience more enjoyable and easier for users than ever possible on earlier generations of computers. |

| | June 94 - Exploiting Graphics Speed on the Power Macintosh |
 | | In general, the setup time on the Power Macintosh is minimal, since the setup is computation- intensive and doesn't depend on memory access. |  | | Since caching is such a hardware-specific operation and can have both very obvious and subtle effects on the execution of your code, it's hard to predict how different cache architectures will affect yourperformance. |  | | This is due to optimizations that CopyBits has for large images that the PowerPC blitter doesn't have. |
